Signs Point to Visceral's Next: The Ripper

When Visceral Games announced that its next game would be based off the poem Dante's Inferno many (GameSpy included) scoffed at the thought of turning such content into a game. If rumors are true, Visceral will make the gaming world do a double-take again with its latest project: The Ripper (via Shacknews).

Back in July, when Visceral Games lost two of its devs to Activision, the LA Times reported on the situation, and was able to get a spokesperson to drop that the studio's next effort is in fact based on the serial killings in London circa 1888. Internet super-mole Superannuation later uncovered two trademark registrations for both a film and game titled "The Ripper."

With the release of Dante's Inferno a few months away, Visceral Games is remaining tight-lipped about the subject.

Tyler says:I'm down with the Ripper. Hell, I was skeptical about Dante's game outing, but that's turning out great. At this point, I'll leave my trust in Visceral's hands. Visceral proved with Dead Space and Dead Space Extraction that it knows action, and does it well.
